[LOGic] NEW LOGIC ERROR? LOSS OF CAT

Tue Sep 18 20:25:03 EDT 2012

My apologies to Dennis for pointing the finger at LOGIC. Apparently my DDUTIL program was working fine, but its config file was glitched, causing a too-long string to be sent to LOGIC's CAT routine, causing the error.
I heard back from Steve Nance (K5FR), author of DDUTIL, who sent me the following (EASY!) reset routine for DUTIL. It took about 2 minutes and suddenly LOGIC + DDUTIL + Flex PSDR were all talking & working happily together again! At the moment it appears PROBLEM SOLVED! 
Thanks to all for their input.

Another remote possibility is a corrupt DDUtil user settings file. Use this procedure to reset the user settings file.
1. From the Options menu select "Profile Save" and give it a name.
2. Close DDUtil
3. Open the DDUtil install folder (usually C:\DDUtil).
4. Execute (double-click) the "DeleteUserConfig.bat" file.
5. Start DDUtil (will have default settings).
6. Open the "Option" menu and select "Profile Recall" and select the file you saved.
If this didn't fix the problem I would post a message to the DDUtil reflector and see if anyone else is having a problem.

This is a question for LOGic users who are using a combination of Flex PSDR,
LOGic, and DDUTIL.
I am running DDUTIL 2.1.0.04, PSDR 2.3.5, and LOGic 8 on a WIN7 PC. I have
been running these for several years with no changes (except for occasional
DDUTIL & PSDR updates).
About a week or two ago I discovered that my LOGic is no longer responding
to CAT commands. Typical reboot, clean, and restart procedures do not change
anything.
When LOGic starts (and tries to communicate via the serial ports) I get the
following error:
ERROR 1881 "Error with label 1 - Caption: String is too long to fit" has
occurred in the program FORM1.INIT, Line 4.
If I ignore the error and continue, the software will start but will not
report rig activity and when I try to reset the CAT interface I get the
following/similar error:
"Error with label 1 - Caption: String is too long to fit"
Have others seen this issue? I am trying to find out if it is being caused
by LOGic or DDUTIL, and looking for ideas what might be causing this error
or how I can further troubleshoot?
Thanks and 73
